Baskin has actually gotten better, Carman is better as a drive out host, and I actually love Kiley and Booms as the morning show. Rizzo teaming up with Sabo and Jeff Thomas again would be very good, hell, even if Goldhammer came over, it wouldn't ruin the chemistry between that group that they had back in the day. Just make sure Sabrina is banned and all would be right with the world.

Also, call me batshit crazy, but if they're purging for talent, Fedor was actually an okay night time host. Flame away. Keep him away from Rizzo's show, as his chemistry didn't gel as well.

I'd put Rizzo Sabo and Thomas on morning drive10-2 Peter Brown (if he's still alive)2-6 Chuck Galeti6-10 Bull and Fox (with Carman on from time to time for some uncontrived arguing.10- Tony Bruno (syndicated)

And for crying out loud, ALLOW OTHER CURRENT TOPICS. Just because the station manager wants to talk about the Browns (again) (still) in February, doesn't mean that's the only GD thing we want to hear all GD day...

Maybe, just maybe, we want to hear about the fuckin CAVS. Not LeBJ, the CAVS.

I'd cast my vote for the blow it all up brigade but that would mean people would lose their jobs. It's bad enough the DJ's of Elyria lost their jobs to the reclaimation of The Wave

Cleveland talk radio has become the mirror image of the Cleveland sports print media. Maybe switch them and see what you get. Would love to hear Livingston, Pluto, and Shaw attempt to answer questions at the moment rather than rely on purusing the internet for other peoples opinions. It may also be interesting to see how Rizzo spells "Weeeeeeeee"

Galley Boys are slop on top of a so-so burger and a bun you coulde get from a Covneninet food mart generic pack. They the Antoine Joubert of burgers; soft, sloppy, oozing grease and cheap sauce and extremely overrated by a biased fan base. Proof that if you throw enough cheap sauce shit on a burger you still can't overcome the lame burger. -JB

Kiley and Booms just needs to be gone. History. Permanent Vacation.

Ken Carman is not good. He just rambles and babbles and I have no freakin' clue what he's talking about. Some of his takes are awful. Keep him where he is, because I don't listen the radio from 5-sleep time.

Baskin and Phelps are kind of milquetoast, but they don't annoy me.

I like Adam the Bull, maybe it's that he's not from Cleveland and hasn't yet lost his common sense. I agree with many of his takes. Dustin Fox doesn't add much of anything to that show, but he doesn't annoy me either.

I could give a shit about Rizzo, but he's listenable in small doses, which Kiley & Booms certainly are NOT.

Exactly. Baskin and Phelps know what they're talking about but bore the hell outta me. Ken Carman has a ton of energy but doesn't seem to know what he's talking about most of the time. Either get rid of all of them, or put the three of them in a room together for a week and see if they can come up with an entertaining product.

The Wednesday night show with Carman and the BSK is abominable.

BSK is back?!?! LOL. Last I recall he was hollering' for Katzenmoyer to go # 1 overall in 99.

Liley & Booms are becoming unbearable, even for the short time that I hear them. Booms' take on hating hip hop because it glorifies violence was tr ascendant because he referenced "Smack my bitch up" as an example.

I also miss the old-new Wave. That station had something. Smooth Jazz is decaf coffee. What it the f'ing point?

^ Cease, check out 91.3 out of Akron. Seems to be in the same realm as 107.3 pre Wave.2. Stumbled across it while using the wife's car.

Trip-Hop, is the actual genre. Just weird, great electronic music. There's some hip-hop origins to it.

The lyrics "Change my pitch up / Smack my bitch up" are repeated through the whole song. The band defended the song, saying that the lyrics were being misinterpreted as misogynistic and the song actually meant "...doing anything intensely..."

also, the video owns.

Hip-Hop is pretty tame now-a-days. I think the last person to take a stand against it was O RLY?, and he's cooled off quite a bit now.

Kent had a concert up in the MACC with Wale opening for Mike Posner (..kind of debating if that should have been the other way around, but eh.), and when he went on stage the whole crowd went nuts.

I think he's Gen Y's version of Michael Stanley around here. There, I said it. It's not a comparison of talent, because at this point I'm not sure how to judge him on that. But, he's got local cred.

Funny hearing him bark out Cobain's name though. Not sure if he'd be down with MGK if he were still alive;

Believe me, I'm overly familiar with Trip Hop and the raves and the X and the lights and the Vick's vapo rub on a towel and the Rabbit in the Moon.

Wouldn't mind one right now.

I'm actually amazed that particular movement didn't grow larger.

I mean..if MTV doesn't sell out, and become the reality show network in the mid to late 90's, we'd have a seen whole wave of those groups spread like wildfire.

Rest of post deleted due to brain cramp while comparing the relative popularity of MGK to Bid Daddy Kane based on my former 16 year old self's world view. You're welcome.

I'd actually like to read that

Same here. Can never go wrong w/ BDK, ever

Legitimate comment here.

What the hell happened to him? He looks terrible. Is he sick or has he alluded to anything on the show?

Playing here is the closest thing to heaven. Really, I mean it's amazing to be in a place where the fans truly cherish their football team and stick behind them win or lose. We players love them, too. I feel a sense of accomplishment playing here, we are a special breed of football players with a great opportunity." ~ tOSU LB Brian Rolle

The aging process will do that to ya. Or maybe he wasn't used to having to work for a 6th day in a row and was exhausted from his bender at any Medina watering hole he frequents

Before I posted I actually did a quick search to see if he was sick. Couldn't find anything. It looked like he aged 15 years in 5 and not just on a Sat. morning where he probably rolled out of bed, didn't shower, threw on a hat and went to "work." Didn't recognize him on the show's page on the website- lost his hair, or as Spin suggested ditched his hair.

Rumor going around says Jim Rome is leaving Premier Radio Network for CBS Radio. Which would have him moving up the dial to 92.3.

I'm sure there's no love lost between him and KNR since they put his first hour on the walkey talkey powered KNR2 so we can have an extra hour of Goldhammer. They haven't been asked to guest host his show since.

Looks like he'll be replacing Baskin and Phelps. I don't know which is worse. B&P are meh, and Rome's schtick was old ten years ago.

Meanwhile Fox8 gave Rizzo his own show on Sunday nights. He brags that it's unscripted yet in the commercial he's reading off a telestrator.

I am losing faith that Cleveland can be saved.

Rome is worse. Not only does he suck, but he mentions Cleveland teams once every 3 years.

12-3 is when I listen to 92.3 the most, since that's the only place to avoid Rome.

I would rather listen to Hammer and Sabo babble for 4 hours than 10 minutes of Rome.

For one without satellite radio, they sound amazingly better than the other crap that's on the dial.

Clear Channel is an evil entity that must die. Pretty sad when it took until THIS YEAR for the Black Keys to finally get airplay on WMMS, WRQK, AND WONE. But I guess that lame ass Nickelback song from 3 years a go really needs to be played!

Can't and won't listen to morning show on 92.3.

I'm okay with Baskin & Phelps because they talk and don't look for screams and schtick over actual conversation. When I get out of work I just hum or sing to myself. I can't fathom listening to Bull & Fox or anything Brinda is on.

I usually hum ballads and some Air Supply. Lately been humming a lot of show tunes and bluegrass. Like to mix it up.

Unrelated but before I get to the point of this post? The Jackets are an amazing experience, and I sincerely wish I lived closer to CBus to be able to attend more games.

Anyway, I turned on 97.1, their version of "The Fan". Let me say, with all the way we criticize Cleveland Sports Talk, it's nowhere near as bad as CBus talk.

First off, CBus Sports Talk actually airs Colin Cowherd on their main affiliate.

Let me repeat that. They AIR COLIN COWHERD. Not on TheFan2, but on the radio station itself.

The show I listened to was something called "Common Man and Company". The guy sounded really obnoxious and annoying.

So my condolences to CDT because my lord, that station is not good.

I had come to the conclusion recently that "Bull and Fox" wasn't really all that good, and it's something I avoid now. But compared to anything airing on 97.1 it sounds like radio gold now.
